Since action bar is introduced in Android 3.0 ( API Level 11 ) , we can not run that application in Android versions prior to Honeycomb.

In order to overcome this limitation, we can make use ActionBarCompat library available with Android support library revision 18. Using ActionBarCompat library we can implement action bars back upto Android API Level 7.

In this article, we will develop an Android application that contain action items and split action bar.

This application is developed in Eclipse 4.2.0 with ADT plugin 22.0.4.
